Additional comments

If I use v2.34.0 same config works.

Nothing in the logs (browser and backend).

There have also been several issues in the forum on this topic since the new release, however, this was mostly misinterpreted and attributed to the API change in openweathermap from 2.5 to 3.0.

Participation

• I am willing to submit a pull request for this change.

I don't know if we should even fix this anymore, since API v2.5 should have been deactivated long ago, and that will probably happen by the next MM release.

It's a pity, but I also have my doubts about whether we should fix that.

That surly happened during the big weather refactor (#4032). I hadn't given v2.5 a single thought, since the API was supposed to have been down for a long time and I no longer have an old key to test it with.

If you really want to debug I can give you my api key.

Hmm... let me sleep on it and think about the effort involved 🙂
